What is the LVD tooling system?
LVD supplies tooling under the European tang and LVD systems on tool-changing models. If your machine is already equipped with this system, replacement tools are specified to match it — the tang geometry, the working height and the retention method all have to agree, not just the nominal size.

How are LVD catalogue numbers structured?
LVD offers conventional European interfaces as well as its own systems on adaptive and tool-changing models. Machines sold in North America are often badged LVD Strippit, which does not change the interface but helps match the machine to its original specification.
- A catalogue number identifies the profile; it does not replace measuring the tool.
- Worn or reground tools keep their number but lose working height.
- Where a brand publishes an official decoding key, that key is authoritative — not third-party guesses at what the digits mean.
What should I send to identify a replacement?
If your catalogue number is not listed, send us the number together with a photograph of the tool and a ruler shot of the tang. We will confirm the system, angle, radius, height and segment length before you order.
- The catalogue number stamped or laser marked on the tool.
- The angle and tip radius, if legible.
- The working height from shoulder to tip.
- The total length and any segment combination.
- A photograph of the tool and of the tang with a ruler in shot.
